Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Buy or Lease a Car, Truck, or SUV Online?

Our dealership understands that many folks may not have the time to visit us in person for the whole car buying process. It is one of the many reasons that we give folks the ability to complete most of their car shopping online. With our online shopping tools, customers can select their new car, get a value for their current vehicle, personalize a payment option, and apply for financing. It is a streamlined and quick way to buy or lease your next vehicle.

Are Monthly Payments Lower When I Lease as Compared to Buying?

In general, a monthly lease payment is going to be less than a monthly payment when you are buying a car. When you lease a vehicle, you are only paying for the portion of the vehicle you are going to use. Buying a car requires you to pay for the entire vehicle over the course of the term. Unless you put a lot of money down, your auto loan payment will always be higher than a lease payment for the same term.

How Does My Credit Impact Buying or Leasing a Vehicle?

Your credit is very important when it comes to the purchase or lease of a vehicle. It is one of the factors that is considered when you are trying to finance or lease your next car, truck, SUV, or minivan. If your credit score is too low, you may have less favorable terms or have a hard time getting approved. The good news is that the finance center at Jim Hayes Inc works with customers of all credit levels, and has experience getting folks approved that have been turned down by other lenders and car dealers.

Can I Buy My Vehicle if I Am Currently Leasing It?

Yes, you can buy your vehicle if you are currently leasing it. At the end of your lease agreement, you have the option of buying your leased car, truck, SUV, or minivan for the residual amount. Our finance center can help you with that process.

What Happens When I Return My Leased Car, Truck, or SUV?

When you are set to return your leased car, truck, or SUV, you will have four choices. You can buy the vehicle you were leasing, you can lease something new, you can buy something from our new or used selection, or you can drop off your keys. If you choose to drop off your keys, our finance center can help guide you through the lease-end process successfully. You will also need to ensure that your end-of-lease inspection has been conducted.

Should I Wait for a Manufacturer's Lease Deal or Special Incentive?

The team at Jim Hayes Inc always has lease deals and incentives on some of the most popular models in the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM lineups. When you find a lease deal or special incentive that works, you should pounce on it. Many lease deals and incentives expire monthly, so it is imperative that you act quickly.
